Green Hornet Comics #1

"Murder In the Offing" kicks off in Green Hornet Comics #1 (1940) with the masked vigilante and his loyal partner Kato tracking down a cunning confidence man preying on local merchants—only to uncover a troubling link to a powerful political figure. Written by Fran Striker and illustrated by Bert Whitman Associates, this early adventure blends noir suspense with the kind of sharp social commentary that defined the era’s pulp sensibilities.
